How the resume match score works

The tool reads the job description, lists its keywords as required, preferred or nice to have, and checks which of them are written in your resume. The score is the share of keywords found, with required keywords counting three times and preferred keywords twice.

What happens to your resume

Your resume never leaves your device. Only the job description is sent to our server to find its keywords. Your resume text is compared with those keywords inside your browser and is not uploaded or stored.

What the score does not tell you

It is a word check, not a judgment of your experience. A skill you describe in other words can show as missing, and a high score does not predict an interview. No tool can see how a specific employer's applicant tracking system ranks resumes.

How to use the missing keywords

  1. Start with the required keywords that are missing.
  2. For each one, ask whether you have done that work. If yes, add it where you did it, in the employer's wording.
  3. If you have not, leave it out. A keyword in a job description is not a reason to claim a skill.
  4. Check again after editing to see what changed.
